Bird Damage in Agriculture

Avian issues in agricultural sectors

Agriculture is a critical sector for food production, and bird damage can have severe consequences.
Birds, especially crows, pigeons and starlings, can feed on crops, leading to reduced yields and financial losses for farmers. Bird control solutions help protect crops while preserving the ecological balance necessary for sustainable agriculture.

Birds can also pose significant challenges in other agricultural sectors, including livestock, aquaculture and vineyards. In livestock production, bird pests such as starlings and blackbirds often target feed supplies, eating grains and forage intended for livestock. This not only results in financial losses, but can also affect the nutritional quality of the livestock's diet.

In aquaculture, birds such as herons and cormorants can be devastating. They prey on fish stocks, causing a decline in the population and thus affecting production. Their presence also increases stress on farmed fish, making them more susceptible to disease.

Vineyards are also vulnerable to bird damage. Grape-eating birds such as crows and starlings can peck at ripe fruit, reducing yields and affecting wine quality.

Overall, the impact of birds on these agricultural sectors highlights the need for effective bird management strategies to reduce economic losses and maintain food production.
